Historical Significance

The Washington Quarter was first struck in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 1972 issue belongs to the modern clad era, which began in 1965 when silver was removed from the general circulation coinage composition.

Estimated Value

$0.25 - $1.00 (Circulated value is face value; higher for Uncirculated specimens)

Care Instructions

To preserve the coin, handle it by the edges to avoid getting oils from your skin on the surfaces. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe holder or flip. Never use abrasive cleaners or acidic solutions to clean the coin, as this permanently damages numismatic value.
